That Is correct. this racist legisto find that the But the Senator from Illinois. In his citizens of all very clear statement earlier today. ave come to the pointed out that up to. I think. 1900. the our rights were number of immigrants coming into this country in a decade was approximately 10 percent. That was changed in 1921 or 1922 to approximately 3 percent. and was later changed to 2 percent. In the McCarran bill It is onesixth of 1 percent of the total population. So I wish to emphasize that we are no longer talking in terms of a 10percent increase or a 3- or a 2percent increase in immigration annually. but we are talking in terms of onesixth of 1 percent.
